H&L Parawulff SBS

More fun with Ike's favorite. Parawulff wing's a bit putzy but those white bunny ears do stand out.

hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
thread - Uni 8/0 white to hide all the wraps on the wing; optional (sure made photographing those sequences a pain)
tail - moose body
abdomen - peacock quill stripped
thorax peacock herl
wing - calf body white
hackle - brown


Part 1

Mash down barb, start thread at 80% mark

clean, stack, measure (shank length) a clump of calf body hair; tie in (firm wraps - you want to test the thread's breaking point), trim at an angle, cover with thread

Scott,
The fly is beautiful. Have you fished the pattern yet? It looks like it ought to do the trick.

Ed,

Thanks. Haven't fished it yet but plan to in the spring.

I see now what you were looking for in the peacock quill - never saw such wide ones.
